Brentford FC v Aston Villa - Pre Match Thread

[UK Redsox]

Griffin Park
Tue 31 Jan
KO 19:45

Since we're all in a positive mood, we might as well start discussing on the suddenly more varied possible team line ups

Pointy will start of course but where will Angela, Thor and Konna Hooriman fit in ?

[Axl Rose]

Hopefully Hogan will have departed for West Ham by then, so that's a big threat gone.

2-0 to us. And no pointy.

[Comrade Blitz]

2-5

Brentford to go up 2-0 in the first 15 mins.  2-1 at HT

[UK Redsox]

The Paint Man

McCafu
Chester
Baker
Amavi

Jedi
Angela
Ourimane

Albert
Kod
Andre the not Giant


Bunn
Leo
Mad Tom
Pointy
GG/Tish
TDCOGA
Jack

[cdbearsfan]

My prediction for the line-up is:

Johnstone

Hutton
Elphick (assuming Baker gets injured by Tuesday)
Chester
Amavi

Adomah
Hourihane
Lansbury
Green

Agbonlahor
Kodjia

We would actually have loads of options on the bench to improve things if need be! Notably Adomah, Bjarnason, Grealish and Bree.

[Richard E]

9-0 to Brentford and the positivity evaporates in an instant.

[UK Redsox]

Is Jedi out injured ?

[Skerra]

At last!!! For the first time in ages,  and, following all our transfer activity, I've actually gone for us to win without even having to think about it.
All of a sudden I now believe we could still make the play offs

UTV & the good Dr!!

[Uknowthescore]

Not normally keen when we're on sky but with all our new players on show I'm looking forward to it. Ain't got a clue how we will line up but going for a 2-0 win

[darren woolley]

I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

Bree--------Chester------Baker------Amavi
--------------------Jedinak------------------
-----------Lansbury-------Hourahane------
Adomah--------------------------Bjarneson
-------------------Kodjia--------------------

Subs
Bunn, Elphick, Bacuna, Tshibola, Ayew, Grealish,
Agbonlahor.

If it's not going well and we need to turn it around, bring on
Ayew and Grealish for Jedinak and Adomah with Bjarneson moving
to Jedinaks position.

I'd go with that other than to start Jack instead of Thor and bring him on second half when we are 3 up.

New players bounce and the wasters either fight for their lives or begin the long goodbye.

Either way I almost shot my load when I realised Dracula, Pointy, Matata and Flabby could quite possibility not be in the team anymore thus bringing an end to one of the worst teams in living memory and their contributions to our demise. Goodbye wankers!

Hello new professional players! Welcome aboard.

4-1 Villa !!!

[Clark W Griswold]

I've got a feeling Thor is going to be (at least initially anyway) the stand out signing, and add a real heart beat to the team.

[remy]

Oops my team for the Bees:

Not Gollini

NotHutton - Chester - Baker - Amavi

NotBacuna -NotWestwood -NotGardner

Adomah -Kodija -NotFlabby
